A New Website for Lornewood

Lornewood’s original website had been online for more than ten years. After renovating their facilities and commissioning new photography and video, they needed a website that reflected the changes.

The new homepage in motion.

I rebuilt the site in Wix Studio, with a layout for the new photography and video and content the team could update themselves. I stayed on as a collaborator to help with the more technical parts.

The job also included moving the domain, setting up business email and an HTML email signature, and configuring Google Search Console. There was a fair bit to organise alongside the design.

The finished site brings the facilities, services and new imagery together in one place.

Giving the team a way to update it themselves was an important part of the job. The site needed to be practical to look after once the build was finished.
